  • The Amercian Wagon - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Great car, engineering, features for the money even if you have to pay sticker. Be careful of blind spots on either side. You must use sideview mirrors along with rearview. Hemi power is awesome but still smooth and quiet. Ride quality and quietness at high speed is excellent. Plenty of room to haul stuff and still have a vehicle that handles like a sedan.

  • A New Standard - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    This is a car that will set a new standard for American cars. The performance is mind blowing in a "family car." Its got looks that wont quit & all the comfort, bells & whistles that anyone could ask for. It is the perfect combination of German engineering, fit & finish, and good old American MUSCLE. Its a car that I will enjoy driving for many years to come.

  • Who would have thought wed buy a Dodge? - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Smooth, quiet, roomy and comfortable! We traded a Passat wagon for the Magnum, and really feel as if we traded up. the 3.5 liter engine and automatic transmission have ample performance, and the handling and ride are a revelation. Who would have thought that RWD was this good? Lots of space for a growing family, comfortable seating, good storage space and head-turning looks make this a car to be proud of!

    Use the seat belt, youll need it. One awesome powerhouse. And still mid 20s for economy when you need it.

  • Wow, Some car - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Once you buy a Magnum, expect to have people walking by the vehicle ask you what kind of car rhis is and how do you like it. I bought the Mgnum 3 months ago and at least every other day someone approches me when I park to comment on the great styling and how I like it.

  • Most Fun Ive Had Driving in 20 Years - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Simply put, it has been the perfect car. Incredibly fast and smooth, very comfortable, plus loads of utility. Had an 03 Explorer before and sold it to a family member. Recently drove it again and couldnt believe the difference between it and my Magnum. The Dodges handling and ride are incredible and you feel so much more in command when driving it. Now Im spoiled for life! People seeing it think that because it sits lower and the windows are narrower, theres not much space inside, but the interior is incredibly roomy and comfortable, and you can easily seat three in the back. This car has made station wagons cool again!

  • New Muscle! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Sure the cool almost chopped look is what catches your eye, but tromp on de Hemi and visions of Trans Ams & Z28s start dancing in your head. What happened to the muscle cars? Theyre back!

  • Too much Mercedes - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I love the styling and power. I accept the poor milege. The steering colunm, tilt wheel, turn signal, cruise control, and power seat operation seem to be for another car(Mercedes?). None of the above features match the feel or operation of any of my other Chrysler cars.This car definitely needs seat memory with two drivers. My wife broke a fingernail the first time she tried the power window switches.The fiberglas rear cargo insert is a drop-in loose fit that is not mounted in any manner. I would hate to think where this heavy piece would fly to if I ever had a front end collision. Good car that misses on the details that makes a great car that you wnnt to drive foreve

  • Very Nice Vehicle - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    The SXT V6 is a very good choice, Furthermore, you can improve the performance, I did. I installed a bigger intake and bigger exhaust system which produced another 25 horse power.The Magnum body looks sweet with 22 inch rims.

  • The thrill is back! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Dodge? I actually bought a Dodge? I couldnt be happier! The Magmun RT AWD is great on snow, looks fantastic, and gets 22 MPG highway. It fits my three kids with room to spare. The climate control system is great! The styling is the envy of my friends! Did I mention its got a Hemi? Ive died and gone to Dad heaven!
